Have been numerous complaints on the intake manifold exploding and catching fire. as this same thing happen to me, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. mine just happen to be in the drive way, when i went to start it i saw smoke. so i turned it off, looked under hood didn't see anything. went to start it a few days later and i heard a really loud pop, followed by smoke. i quickly turned to off position. opened my hood and sure enough the manifold had exploded. what if i would have been driving? could have caused deaths to others or even myself, if it wasn't contained. not everyone carries a fire extinguisher!!!!
